Join GayCities, the fun way to discover the world

Beautiful interior with numerous bars and patio area. Staff friendly and the patrons are a mixed lot of both young and old and caters to a better dressed crowd. Clearly a must see on any visitor's list in Chicago.

Chicago - my favor gay city to visit. Roscoe's has multiple bar areas, including some outdoor seating a moderate size dance floor. It attracts a fairly young crowd and the bar with wooden floors and rustic appearance is happier for those wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Roscoe's is always fun and generally friendly patrons make this a nice place to visit.

Not my personal scene. This large 2 story facility has dancers and attracts perhaps the non-fashion conscience group of middled aged to older guys. Fairly laid back, pool tables, multiple rooms, this may well remind you of a place back home.

You'll definitely either like this place or hate it. It's quite raw.Nothing stylish about this place and the patrons can be aggressive. Very popular black hangout, you're going to find a middle aged to older crowd here. I visited once and quickly left.

Halo is likely the trendiest bar in the DC area. Attracting a well dressed set, this 2 story facility has strong 2 for 1 drink and speciality drink offerings. It's a short walking distance to other bars and restaurants. Halo typically offers a mixed white & ethnic group with Friday & Saturdays tending more to ethnic groups. Weekend nights get extremely crowded, making this less enjoyable. Remember no smoking policy in DC bars.

JR's is a Washington staple. On the main gay drag, it has a diverse crowd of both the young and old. Many theme nights with various music videos. No dancing. A singular pool table. A great place to start your evening. No attitiude staff and patrons, it's busy Thursday thru Sunday. A fine first choice.
